New rank?

[btcton]

In fact most of the signature campaigns now don't count low quality posts. So the signature spams also won't be counted. I hope that people can think before they post.

Are you sure about that? I think managers do check the posts but I don't think all managers check all posts and campaigns using bots will count spams and it may not count substantial posts. Most bots check the number of words in user's post which is wrong to check whether a post is substantial or spam. Some spams may look like substantial post. It is hard to know "real" intention of the user. I do think signature campaigns increase spams.

Simple the signature campaigns maintainers should accept only valid users in their sig. campaign if the allow each user to enroll it is normal that the spam will increase (but as someone said yesterday (a well know term term) "any publicity is a good publicity") because more posts >> more view of the signature but when you try to write more the quality of the posts will drop.

It's not only about publicity, but also about SEO. The more links to a site, the better it will get ranked. That is, at least as far as I know.

The current highest rank here is Legendary with 775-1030 activity points to achieve. Perhaps we can have a higher rank at like 1300-1400 points? Like 'History Maker' or 'Part of Bitcoin History' etc.?
It's just a suggestion. You can take or not take it.

i like that idea too

• Jr. Legendary.
• Legendary
• Sr. Legendary
• Hero Legendary.

Somehow, having a “Jr. Legendary” sounds contradictory to me.

Exactly what I thought. Would be silly and possibly confusing to split the Legendary rank like this. Higher ranks can just be added later on when needed but I don't think they will be for a while.

But hey, I don't think the new forum will be here for a while either.

I've got the best words or phrases for a new rank. How about "Iconic" or "The Icon" or maybe even "Hall of Famer" or "Hall of Fame Inductee".

[LOBSTER]

What about something like "Insane Member"

But, isn't the Staff rank given to people who, you know, is staff?

I don't think there's any co-founder rank...

P.S.
I just found out that about 300.000 of 500.000 total users of bitcointalk are all brand new

Spambots maybe

I like the way the system works now. I don't think we really need to change the class order. However, the appearance of the member type could do with a new design.

[OgNasty]

I think there should be a new forum section for legendary members.  We have one for donators, but there are so few donators left on this site that the section is mostly dead.  Perhaps allowing legendary (or higher) ranks to be able to have their own section might allow some of us old timers to relive the glory days here.

I don't disagree with it and could be persuaded either way but if it's something many other older/Legendary members wanted then maybe, but like the Donator section I don't think it'd be that active but maybe you could put it to a vote or something.

[Fernandez]

I had suggested changing the activity requirements to powers of 2. That would make it more consistent with 'bit'.

A scaling may also be added, to restrict signature displaying capacity. It would go some way in beating the extra posting we see today.

I don't get the randomness of ranks, how one person can have to have been around for a year longer than another to get the same rank.

Well it's based on how active you have been during the two-week periods. If you miss posting at least once in a period you lose the activity points forever. It makes sense rather than someone creating an account years ago and forgetting about it then reappearing and looking like he's an active 'long-time' member.

If you're talking about Legendary rank then I agree, it makes no sense.

[koelen3]

That would be awesome to have another rank and also may be one more lower then Legendary too?
The idea behind having more ranks will surely be good , also making another section for Legendary members is nice too, hopefully i will be able to get in it soon too if it comes .

My idea is that instead of adding new ranks, there can be badges depending on the date you signed up... So if you signed up in 2011, when the forum began (I believe), You could get a badge that says "Pioneer".  If you signed up in 2012, you could get a badge that said "Early adopter", and so on.
